Are you a technology leader ready to execute the product vision for one of Australia's fastest-growing and most innovative tech companies on the Gold Coast?

Well, let us introduce ourselves. We're AutoGuru, an award-winning powerhouse on a mission to revolutionise the automotive industry. Our primary focus is on FleetGuru, our powerful B2B digital authorisation platform, streamlining maintenance for Australia's largest vehicle fleets by pioneering the use of AI to make automotive care more predictive and intelligent.

We're continuing to make serious waves in the auto industry as we evolve the capability and application of our locally developed technology. We're revving up to take on even bigger challenges both here in Australia and beyond, pioneering the future of fleet management with emerging AI. That's why we're looking for a visionary and operational Head of Technology to lead our entire product, design, and engineering division on this mission

Your success will be instrumental in allowing the CTO to focus on global strategy and internationalisation, while you masterfully execute the product roadmap and daily operations.

Nice to have:

• Experience in the Fleet, Automotive, or Logistics tech space.

About You:

• The perfect blend of strategist and operator, you can see the whole road ahead and know exactly how to steer the team to get there.
• Fueled by continuous learning, you thrive on helping your team shift gears and grow.
• A true team player - collaboration is your fuel, but when opportunity's in sight, you're ready to hit the accelerator and take the lead.
